Quarto. [144] pp., mostly illustrations (some in color), reproducing advertisements, illustrations from books, and examples of typography; seven leaves with mounted paper samples showing different colored ink. With full-page biographies of the nearly thirty artists and designers whose work is compiled here. Also included is a list of the paper samples herein. Bound in original publisher's brown decorated boards printed red and black, gray endpapers (new spine almost imperceptible; bookplate removed from inside front cover; minor foxing and offsetting to versos of some leaves). Overall a very attractive copy. BEAUTIFUL AMERICAN PAPER AND GRAPHIC ARTS CATALOGUE; FEW OTHER COPIES HAVE SURVIVED IN SUCH GOOD CONDITION. OWING TO THE LUMINOUS QUALITY OF THE ILLUSTRATIONS AND THE TACTILE EXPERIENCE OF HANDLING THE PAPER STOCKS, DIGITAL SURROGATES WILL ALWAYS REMAIN AN UNACCEPTABLE ALTERNATIVE. While technically a "salesman's sample catalogue," the present volume offers extremely compelling graphic arts of the period, as well as paper and ink samples. There are designs by the two most famous American book designers of the era, namely Bruce Rogers and Frederic Goudy, as well as many who are little known today, including Louise Ames Norman, Charles B. Falls, Claire Avery, W.P. Schoonmaker, Edward Penfield, Adolph Triedler, Earl Horter, Robert Wildhack, Thelma Cudlipp, NoĆ©mi Peressin, and Ralph Fletcher Seymour. The editor, Joseph Moore Bowles, was himself well respected: he was a publisher, director of the NYC Art Center, and editor of periodical publications "Modern Art," "The Collector and Art Critic," and "Interior Decoration.".ā¦

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Michael Laird Rare Books LLC, Lockhart, Texas, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
